Sage and Kieran, a married ‘Tethered’ pair living in the Haven Point sanctuary a year after toppling the Whitman Foundation, discover that their bond is not unique when Sage begins receiving visions of psychically linked couples across history—and real-time signals from strangers whose own bonds are forming during a rare astronomical alignment.

As Sage’s pregnancy turns her into a living nexus for these awakening pairs, an older organization called the Silentium moves to suppress the cascade, forcing the couple and their found family to build a consent-based ‘Resonance Network’ to reach the frightened new pairs first.

The book braids a race against the Silentium with an intimate argument about whether connection can be powerful without becoming ownership.
